THE  FIRST  PRINTERS 
OF  CHICAGO 


PRINTING  came  first  to  the  city  of  Chicago  in  1833.  The 
beginnings  of  the  art  in  what  is  now  one  of  the  leading 
cities  of  the  world  in  the  output  of  the  printing  press  was 
made  in  a  ver\'  modest  way  by  John  Calhoun,  a  native  of  Water- 
town,  N.  Y.  At  the  age  of  sixteen  he  became  an  apprentice  in 
the  office  of  the  Watertown  Freeman;  when  twenty-one  he 
went  to  Albany  and  worked  for  a  brief  time  in  the  type  foundry 
^  of  Starr  &  Little;  later  he  moved  to  Troy  and  set  type  on  the 
city  direCTory.  He  next  returned  to  his  first  job  in  "Watertown, 
and  after  working  temporarily  at  Oswego  he  purchased  some 
printing  equipment  and  entered  into  partnership  with  W. 
Woodward,  with  the  aim  of  publishing  a  newspaper. 

Due  to  political  reasons  it  became  necessary  to  sell  the  paper, 
•/^    and  young  Calhoun  was  again  unprovided  for.  Purchasing  ad- 
ditional equipment,  he  established  the  Watertown  Eagle,  but

^     like  so  many  printing  enterprises,  it  was  insufficiently  financed, 
I     and  he  soon  had  to  give  up.  In  1833  Harlow  Kimball  visited 


^  Chicago,  and  returned  east  enthusiastic  regarding  the  oppor- 
tunities in  the  middle  west.  Influenced  by  his  testimony,  John 

^  Calhoun  decided  to  move  to  Chicago  and  set  up  there  a  news- 
paper and  printing  office. 

On  September  21,  1833,  he  set  out  by  what  was  considered 
the  most  expeditious  route:  by  steamboat  from  Buffalo  to  De- 
troit, and  by  stage  the  remainder  of  the  journey.  A  hurricane        .  o^<.c/.  ft/^ck-  ;e^L 
on  Lake  Erie  rwdce  drove  the  boat  back,  and  it  finally  headed       i(i^L^t.■ 

^    for  Black  River  harbor,  where  it  ran  aground.  It  being  uncer-         ,..    .^^^  ^^^^ 

/^  tain  when  the  steamer  would  be  floated  free,  Calhoun,  in  com- 
pany with  fellow  travelers,  walked  twenty  miles  to  Huron,  and 
there  embarked  for  Detroit,  after  a  wait  of  several  days.  The

rest  of  the  journey  went  slowly,  by  stage  coach  across  Michigan 
and  Indiana,  but  finally  Calhoun  reached  the  "promised  land." 
There  he  found  his  printing  equipment  and  supplies  and  two 
apprentices  awaiting  him.  An  office  was  rented  in  a  still  un- 
finished building  at  the  southwest  corner  of  South  Water  and 
Clark  Streets,  Calhoun  assisting  in  lathing  and  plastering  the 
printing  office  premises.  The  equipment  being  installed,  he 
was  ready  to  make  his  bow  to  the  public  as  Chicago's  first 
printer  and  publisher. 

The  earliest  piece  of  printing  to  appear  from  his  press  (with 
the  exception  of  one  lot  of  business  cards)  was  the  initial  issue 
of  the  Chicago  Democrat,  a  four  page,  six  column  paper,  about 
fifteen  by  twenty  inches  in  size.  This  newspaper,  which  derived 
its  name  from  Calhoun's  enthusiasm  as  a  Jacksonian  Democrat, 
appeared  on  November  26,  1833.  Its  motto,  credited  to  Benja- 
min Franklin,  read:  "Where  Liberty  dwells,  there  is  my  coun- 
try." An  excellent  file  of  this  paper,  beginning  with  the  first 
issue,  is  preserved  in  the  Chicago  Historical  Society,  but  as  the 
first  two  issues  are  slightly  damaged,  the  third  is  reproduced 
herewith  on  pages  10-11. 

From  the  very  interesting  original  account  book  of  John  Cal- 
houn, which  was  preserved  by  Horatio  Hill  and  is  now  in  the 
Chicago  Historical  Society,  we  find  memoranda  of  charges  for 
job  printing.  The  first  entry  in  his  ledger,  was  a  charge  for  $2.00 
to  C.  Ingersol  [IngersoU]  for  "one  pack  of  cards"  for  the  Trav- 
ellers' Home,  and  we  find  also  against  the  entry  the  encourag- 
ing notation  "paid."  We  see,  therefore,  that  this  job  was  exe- 
cuted a  couple  of  weeks  in  advance  of  the  appearance  of  the 
first  issue  of  the  Chicago  Democrat,  the  charge  being  dated 
November  13,  1833.  The  second  charge  was  to  Col.  F.  J.  V. 
Owen  on  December  6,  1833,  for  printing  2^,^  quire  vouchers." 
The  price  was  $3.00,  and  the  item  was  also  marked  "paid." 

From  this  point  on,  we  find  in  the  ledger  numerous  charges 
for  advertising,  subscriptions,  business  cards,  mortgages,  other 
legal  forms,  "bills"  (which  were  broadside  notices),  ball  and 
cotillion  tickets,  and  the  like.

Mrs.  Calhoun  joined  her  husband  in  Chicago  in  the  spring 
of  1834,  and  helped  him  in  proofreading,  keeping  office  rec- 
ords, and  so  forth.  When  jobs  were  printed  on  the  Washington 
hand  press,  it  is  said  she  would  smooth  out  the  deep  impression 
with  a  hot  sad  iron. 

In  November,  1834,  the  printing  office  of  the  Democrat  was 
moved  to  a  loft  above  the  hardware  store  of  Jones  &  King,  a 
few  doors  below  its  previous  location.  But  the  weekly  encoun- 
tered dire  trouble  with  its  paper  supply  during  this  winter,  the 
needed  supply  failing  to  arrive  before  the  close  of  navigation. 
As  a  result,  only  two  issues  appeared  between  January  1  and 
May  20  of  1835. 

The  second  newspaper  of  the  city,  the  Chicago  American, 
appeared  on  June  8,  1835,  printed  and  published  by  T.  O. 
Davis.  This  was  likewise  a  four  page  six  column  paper  of  about 
the  same  size  as  the  Democrat.  To  the  American  and  its  printer 
we  will  later  refer. 

Calhoun  found  the  publication  of  a  newspaper  in  this  fron- 
tier community  a  hard  struggle,  and  his  financial  worries  were 
many.  For  many  reasons,  he  decided,  as  early  as  May,  1836, 
to  dispose  of  the  paper.  Four  prominent  Democrats  proposed 
to  purchase  it  and  actually  did  lend  their  credit  to  the  enlarge- 
ment of  the  paper.  In  the  course  of  the  present  study  the  writer 
discovered  the  original  invoice  of  a  New  York  type  foundry 
showing  some  of  the  items,  and  the  total  value  of  the  material 
ordered  for  the  paper  on  their  responsibility — a  document  not 
hitherto  published  or  referred  to.    This  invoice  reads: 

New  York,  June  10,  1836 
Messrs  Henry  B.  Clarke,  E.  Peck,  H.  Hugunin,  &  J.  C.  Goodhue.

But  the  actual  sale  of  the  paper  to  these  four  gentlemen  was 
never  consummated.  An  arrangement  was  then  made  to  sell  the 
newspaper  to  Horatio  Hill  of  Concord,  N.  H.  We  have  very 
fortunately  located  in  the  coUeaion  of  the  Chicago  Historical 
Society  the  original  agreement  of  sale,  likewise  hitherto  unpub- 
lished. In  view  of  the  importance  of  the  document  to  the  early 
history  of  Chicago  printing,  the  text  is  here  given  in  full,  and 
the  last  page,  showing  the  signatures  of  Calhoun  and  Hill,  is 
reproduced  in  facsimile  on  page  12. 

This  Agreement  made  this  Fourteenth  day  of  November,  A.  D. 
1836.:  Between  John  Calhoun  of  the  Town  of  Chicago,  County  of 
Cook  &  State  of  Illinois  Party  of  the  first  part:  and  Horatio  Hill  of

promise  and  agree  to  sell  and  convey  to  said  Hill  by  a  good  and

establishment  of  any  newspaper,  printing  press  for  job  or  any  other 
work,  in  the  Town  of  Chicago  or  within  the  County  of  Cook  in  the 
State  aforesaid: —

It  will  be  seen  from  this  instrument  that  Calhoun  was  to 
receive  comparatively  little  from  the  sale,  after  the  debts  of  the 
business  were  paid  by  the  purchaser.  Hill  gave  Calhoun  a  draft 
on  New  York  for  $750,  which  is  found  entered  in  the  latter's 
ledger.  But  the  draft  was  returned  unhonored,  and  Calhoun 
found  he  had  not  sold  the  newspaper  after  all.  Meanwhile 
Hill  had  departed  for  the  east,  leaving  John  Wentworth  in 
charge  as  editor.  Wentworth  being  anxious  to  purchase,  and 
being  willing  to  assume  the  various  payments  undertaken  by 
Hill,  this  deal  was  consummated.  The  pioneer  printer  of  Chi- 
cago thus  retires  from  the  typographic  field.  He  spent  a  large 
proportion  of  his  subsequent  life  in  the  public  service,  attaining 
always  a  creditable  record. 

As  has  already  been  noted  the  second  newspaper  was  estab- 
lished in  June,  1835,  by  T.  O.  Davis,  a  printer  of  whose  antece- 
dents we  know  nothing.  He  operated  the  paper  only  about 
DA'o  years  and  in  the  latter  part  of  1837,  after  a  suspension  due 
to  lack  of  paper,  we  find  the  paper  published  by  William  Stuart 
&  Co.  From  now  on  the  developments  in  newspaper  publish- 
ing history  come  thick  and  fast,  and  no  attempt  will  here  be 
made  to  recount  them,  inasmuch  as  they  have  already  been  re- 
corded in  most  satisfaCTory  detail  by  at  least  two  authors. 

In  the  first  place  A.  T.  Andreas  in  the  first  volume  of  his 
History  of  Chicago  (Chicago,  1884)  has  written  a  good  run- 
ning account,  and  a  detailed  register  has  been  given  by  Frank- 
lin W.  Scott  in  his  Newspapers  and  Periodicals  of  Illinois, 
1814-1879  (Springfield,  III,  1910).  We  may  therefore  pro- 
ceed to  a  phase  of  Chicago's  printing  history  which  has  received 
no  attention  at  all :  the  book  and  pamphlet  imprints. 

Whereas  the  newspapers  were,  to  a  large  degree,  brought 
into  being  and  influenced  by  the  economic  and  political  de- 
mands of  a  community,  the  early  books  and  pamphlets  were 
more  of  an  index  to  the  awakening  cultural  consciousness. 

This  then  is  a  first  attempt  at  a  bibliography  of  early  Chicago 
printing.  It  is,  of  necessity  incomplete,  for  many  of  the  issues 
of  the  press  were  small  and  apparently  inconsequential  and 

[13] 


have  been  preserved  only  by  chance.  This  is  clearly  evidenced 
by  the  faa  that  most  of  the  early  imprints  are  known  to  us  only 
through  copies  which  are  apparently  unique. 

We  have  seen  that  job  printing  began  in  Chicago  in  Novem- 
ber, 1833.  From  then  on,  according  to  our  records,  were  printed 
numerous  handbills  and  broadsides,  which  we  will  not  include 
within  our  classification.  There  are  in  existence  numerous  deeds 
and  legal  forms,  filled  in  and  dated  in  manuscript  in  1835  and 
1836,  most  of  which  bear  the  imprint  of  Davis  Print,  that  is 
T.  O.  Davis,  and  a  lesser  number  of  which  bear  no  imprint,  and 
were  probably  printed  by  Calhoun. 

The  first  pamphlet  of  which  we  have  any  record  was  distinaly 
charged  as  such  in  Calhoun's  ledger  under  date  of  April  1, 1836. 
It  was  a  charter  of  the  Chicago  Fire  Insurance  Company,  the 
entry  reading:  "Chicago  Fire  Insurance  Com.  Dr.  To  printing 
100  pamphlets  for  charter.  $10.00."  The  page  of  the  ledger  on 
which  this  appears  is  reproduced  in  facsimile  on  opposite  page. 
As  the  evidence  attesting  its  issue  is  entirely  clear,  it  figures  as 
the  first  entry  in  our  bibliography.  No  copy  is  known  to  exist. 

There  are  some  other  entries  in  this  ledger  which  might  indi- 
cate pamphlet  imprints,  but  in  no  other  case,  is  the  matter  be- 
yond question.  We  find,  for  example,  that  on  December  1, 
1834,  the  Illinois  &  Michigan  Canal  was  charged  S6.00  for 
"printing  200  Gen.  Gratiots  repts."  On  August  6,  1836,  the 
Mechami  Society  was  charged  SlO.OO  "to  print  Constitution," 
this  being  possibly  a  pamphlet.  February  13,  1836,  LeBeau 
was  billed  to  the  extent  of  S5.00  "To  printing  200  Sheets  of 
verses  for  Canby." 

An  item  of  particular  interest  historically  cost  J.  W.  Reed 
$7.00,  on  September  7,  1835,  "To  print  blanks  for  census."  On 
September  10, 1835, 1.  ^-Tiittock  was  charged  $10.00  "To  print- 
ing quarterly  reports."  Judging  from  the  amount  of  the  charge 
in  comparison  with  other  entries  this  may  have  well  been  more 
than  a  small  broadsheet  or  handbill.  On  August  7  of  the  same 
year,  the  "Town  of  Chicago"  had  been  billed  S5.00  "To  printing 
100  bills  'Laws  and  Ordinances'."

We  find  also  from  the  Calhoun  ledger  that  the  advertising 
rate  in  the  Chicago  Democrat  was  one  dollar  per  square  —  that 
is  a  space  one  column  wide  and  the  same  measure  in  depth. 
One  of  the  earliest  charges  was  against  the  "Trustees  of  Chi- 
cago" for  the  publication  of  ordinances: 

To  adv.  ordinances  from  No.  1  to  10,  6  squares $6.00 

To  adv.  from  1 1  to  16,  4  squares 4.00 

The  second  entry,  the  Act  of  Incorporation  of  the  City  of 
Chicago  is  known  by  a  single  copy  preserved  in  the  coUeaions 
of  the  Chicago  Historical  Society.  This  Chicago  "incunabu- 
limi,"  an  octavo  pamphlet  of  twenty-three  pages,  was  printed 
at  the  office  of  the  Chicago  Democrat,  and  as  the  act  was  passed 
March  1,  1837,  it  was  probably  issued  rather  early  in  that  year. 
The  title  page  of  this  booklet  is  reproduced  in  facsimile  on  the 
opposite  page. 

The  third  entry  is  the  only  located  imprint  of  T.  O.  Davis,  the 
printer  and  publisher  of  the  American.  It  was  the  organization 
agreement  of  the  Wisconsin  Mining  Company. 

In  the  next  imprint,  an  opinion  of  the  Supreme  Court  by  Jus- 
tice Smith,  appears  for  the  first  time  the  name  of  the  printer  Ed- 
ward H.  Rudd,  which  we  find  also  in  imprints  of  1839  and  1840. 

The  earliest  Chicago  imprints  are  all  of  a  business,  official,  or 
legal  charaaer.  In  1839,  appeared  the  first  publication  of  a  lit- 
erary character:  a  sermon  by  Isaac  W.  Hallam,  delivered  in  St. 
James'  Church.  And  in  the  same  year  was  printed  a  Fourth 
of  July  oration  by  George  W.  HoUey.  In  1840  we  find  the  first 
evidence  of  local  historical  interest  in  two  publications,  one  by 
J.  N.  Balestier  on  the  history  of  Chicago,  and  one  by  William 
H.  Brown  on  the  history  of  Illinois. 

In  1840  appeared  the  first  volume  of  Illinois  case  reports 
compiled  by  an  aaive  and  public-spirited  citizen,  Jonathan 
Young  Scammon.  This  was  the  most  extensive  book  to  be  yet 
printed  in  Chicago,  but  while  the  copies  were  in  the  bindery 
of  Holcomb  &  Co.  in  December,  1840,  that  establishment  was

edition  was  destroyed.  During  the  course  of  the  present  study, 
however,  a  listing  of  this  original  edition  was  discovered  in  the 
imprint  catalogue  of  the  New  York  Public  Library,  and  is  duly 
listed  in  the  bibliography.  The  volume  was  reprinted  the  next 
year  in  the  east.  The  third  and  fourth  volumes  of  the  Illinois 
case  reports  were  printed  in  Chicago,  but  subsequent  volumes 
in  the  series  were  printed  at  Bloomington,  Quincy,  and  other 
points,  and  thus  do  not  figure  in  the  present  bibliography. 

It  will  never  cease  to  be  a  matter  of  amazement  to  those 
familiar  with  the  status  of  Chicago  in  this  period  that  an  insti- 
tution of  medical  education  should  have  been  established  at  so 
early  a  date  as  was  Rush  Medical  College.  As  this  was  a  vigor- 
ous enterprise  from  the  time  it  began  actually  to  function  in 
1843,  we  may  expea  its  publications  to  figure  prominently 
among  the  imprints  of  the  period.  And  this  turns  out  to  be  the 
case,  for  some  of  our  most  important  finds  were  made  in  the 
archives  and  the  library  of  that  institution  —  now  a  part  of  the 
University  of  Chicago.  The  first  announcement  was  a  little 
four-page  folder  which  appeared  in  1843,  followed  by  other 
annual  announcements,  valedictory  addresses  by  pioneer  medi- 
cal men  of  Chicago,  and  the  like. 

An  important  document  in  the  history  of  any  community  is 
the  first  cit\'  direaory.  In  1839,  the  contract  for  printing  "The 
Laws  and  Ordinances  of  the  Cirv  of  Chicago"  was  awarded  to 
Edward  H.  Rudd,  but  it  seems  that  he  was  not  able  to  execute 
the  work  so  he  sub-contraaed  the  job  to  Robert  Fergus.  Ac- 
cording to  the  latter 's  own  account,  there  remained  six  blank 
pages  at  the  end,  so  he  set  up  at  the  case  "out  of  his  head"  and 
without  copy  a  brief  business  direaory  of  Chicago.  The  first 
regular  direaory,  however,  was  compiled  by  J.  W.  Norris  and 
published  in  1844  by  Ellis  &  Fergus.  This  was  an  oaavo  of 
over  one  hundred  pages.  Because  of  the  interest  of  the  material 
it  contained  it  was  in  later  years  reprinted  in  facsimile.  From 
that  time  forw^ard  a  city  direaory  was  published  annually.  That 
for  1845  contained  as  a  folding  frontispiece  a  view  of  Chicago 
engraved  by  R.  H.  White. 

[19] 


Another  early  Chicago  publication  of  interest  from  the  point 
of  view  of  literary  development  was  the  first  volume  of  poems 
to  be  printed  in  the  city.  The  poems  were  by  William  Asbury 
Kenyon  and  the  volume  also  included  some  prose  selections 
from  his  writings.  It  was  printed  by  Jas.  Campbell  &  Co.  in 
1845  and  offered  for  sale  by  four  local  booksellers  whose  names 
appear  in  the  imprint. 

The  first  item  of  typographical  interest  was  an  address  to  the 
printers  of  Chicago  on  "the  anniversary  of  Franklin's  Birth- 
Day"  delivered  by  John  E.  Wheeler  on  January  18,  1847.  This 
was  printed  by  "Robert  Fergus,  Typographer,"  an  important 
figure  in  the  development  of  the  printing  art  in  Chicago. 

The  rest  of  the  entries  in  the  bibliography  speak  for  them- 
selves. In  the  preparation  of  this  list  which  —  being  a  first 
attempt  —  must  of  necessity  be  incomplete,  the  material  in  all 
the  important  Chicago  libraries  and  in  the  New  York  Public 
Library  has  been  catalogued  in  full  detail.  The  majority  of  the 
material,  as  is  most  fitting,  was  found  in  the  library  of  the  Chi- 
cago Historical  Society,  the  authorities  and  members  of  the 
staff  of  which  organization  have  been  most  helpful  in  making 
material  available  and  in  permitting  reproduaions  to  be  made 
from  some  of  the  earliest  imprints.  Miss  Caroline  M.  Mcllvaine 
has  courteously  permitted  reference  to  a  list  of  Chicago  imprints 
in  manuscript  form  which  she  compiled  several  years  ago.  Sev- 
eral titles  of  items  which  have  not  been  located  are  drawn  from 
that  list.  The  authorities  of  Rush  Medical  College  have  likewise 
extended  most  cordial  cooperation.  And  the  imprint  catalogue 
of  the  New  York  Public  Library  has  supplied,  as  it  does  in  every 
inquiry  into  the  history  of  American  printing,  much  valuable 
information. 

Among  others  who  have  contributed  to  the  completeness  of 
the  bibliography  are  the  authorities  of  the  Library  of  Congress, 
the  Boston  Public  Library,  the  Harvard  College  Library,  the 
Library  of  the  Surgeon  General's  Office,  U.  S.  Army,  and  the 
Library  of  the  New  York  Academy  of  Medicine. 

It  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  it  has  been  impossible  to  include

in  the  present  bibliography  listings  of  several  apparently  unique 
imprints  in  the  collection  of  that  enthusiastic  Chicago  collector 
of  Western  Americana:  George  W.  Paullin,  who  numbers 
among  his  treasures,  by  the  way,  the  only  known  copy  of  the 
Chicago  printed  edition  of  the  first  volume  of  Scammon's 
"Reports,"  1840.  During  the  period  in  which  this  study  was 
made,  Mr.  PauUin's  books  were  packed  in  storage  and  inacces- 
sible. From  memory  he  mentioned  Crosby's  "History  of  Chi- 
cago and  Business  Directory,"  thought  to  have  been  issued  in 
1843,  and  "The  Roseat,"  the  first  Roman  Catholic  publication 
in  Chicago,  which  he  thought  was  printed  in  1844.  Mr.  Paul- 
lin's  recolleaion  is  doubtless  correct  but  it  would  be  unfair  to 
him,  on  the  basis  of  memory  alone,  to  list  these  publications  in 
the  bibliography  under  specific  dates. 

The  dimensions  are  given  to  the  nearest  even  centimeter.  The 
present  location  of  copies  is  indicated  when  known  and  failing 
this,  the  source  or  authority  from  which  the  title  is  drawn.  The 
sequence  of  material  printed  in  given  years  is  more  or  less  arbi- 
trary, items  appearing  to  belong  in  the  early  months  of  a  year 
coming  ahead  of  those  of  manifestly  later  execution.  In  accord- 
ance with  a  fairly  universal  bibliographic  praaice,  almanacs  for 
a  given  year  are,  in  absence  of  evidence  to  the  contrary,  assigned 
tentatively  to  the  latter  part  of  the  preceding  calendar  year.  But 
the  order  of  items  within  years  cannot  be  taken  as  authoritative. 

It  has  been  possible  in  this  brief  note  to  touch  upon  only  a 
few  of  the  more  interesting  imprints  of  the  first  Chicago  print- 
ers. Brief  as  it  is,  however,  this  notice  is  offered  as  a  slight 
tribute  to  the  pioneer  typographers  who  contributed  in  no  small 
degree  to  start  the  village  on  Lake  Michigan  towards  becoming 
the  world  center  it  now  is.

there  remained  six  blank  pages.  For  this  he  set  up  at  the  case,  with-
